haven’t had friends in a long while. Anyone up to hang out or text. I’m 24 years old and getting tired of the loneliness

Genuine question here, I know that there have been other workforce reductions at ArcBest at least since January 2025, why were none of those picked up in the news cycle? I do realize the latest news also has a lot to do with the absorption of brand names under the ArcBest name (Molo, panther, ArcBest Tech). But what causes this company to fly under the radar with other layoffs?

Does anyone know numbers and dates of the previous workforce reductions?

The absorption of ArcbestTech is no surprise there. When Newcity announced he was leaving and his replacement was Anderson from Arcbest and not an Arcbest Tech upper…..it was only a matter of time. Then a reorg to absorb some ArcbTech departments into strategy under Arcbest in early 2025 the writing was on the wall.

Did they issue a return to office mandate and get rid of Flex Time? Or are those perks still offered to all employees across the board?

sorry everyone !! Im on a mission lol. Aside from five below and garrison goodies . Where can I find atomic fireballs? Not the fake tongue scorchers but the actual atomic fireballs? Any leads ?

I was at Hobby Lobby this evening and happened upon Shayne McKinney. He was with a photographer, documenting his search for posterboards apparently. Whatever he was doing, when they were finished he returned a stack of posterboards to the shelf, but not where they belonged as you can see, causing one to fall into the floor.

So instead of properly returning the merchandise to the shelf, he made a mess and left it. I know its a little thing but its the principle of the matter. You're really gonna just leave this for someone who probably makes minimum wage to clean up?

Edit: I wish I had thought to take a picture while he was still in view. You can see his photographer in a blue shirt carrying the camera in the background.

I looked online...couldn't find anything.

I'm 43m, never learned how to swim, and it has officially pissed me off enough to do something about it lol.

i couldn't find anything advertised as "Adult swim classes" in the area and there is no way I want to just sign up for something where I could possibly be put with a bunch of kids and have their parents shoot eye-lasers at me the entire class. so, if anyone knows of a class that would be appropriate for a 43 year old dude to attend, please let me know.

another option....if you are interested....I'll pay an experienced swimmer 100$ for like 1.5 hours a week at a public pool. weekends preferably. maybe for a few weeks, just until i get the hang of it?

any help would be appreciated. i just moved down south recently and the lakes and rivers are awesome and i want to get in them!

I have short, fine, straight, thinning hair. For whatever reason, this seems to be a challenge for some stylists. The last hair appointment I had, the stylist told me that they didn't have appropriate conditioner for me, so she only shampooed me. I told her that my hair doesn't do well with razors, and then she used a razor to "add texture." I left her chair a straw dry poofball.

After that failure, I've been cutting my own hair for a while. While it's better than spending $45 to look like an idiot, I am not in fact an expert. We're going to start working from the office again soon (🤢) which means I have to look professional again.

Does anyone have a stylist rec? My goal style is like this, if that helps: https://youtube.com/shorts/3fkG_VmLelU

Hey everyone! My husband and i will be moving to fort smith next week and we are coming from south carolina where my husband was in the military so we weren’t able to take the time to come and scope the area before our move, so i figured i would come on here and see what you guys think are fun things to do and any nice hikes or lakes in the area!

lots of love, thank you in advance 🙂

We were visiting the Ft Smith area over the weekend for a reunion and spent some time exploring the countryside. We saw just a few of these kinds of signs - yellow plastic with black print - on utility poles in town, but they were all over the countryside along Hwy 10, Hwy 45 and US-71. Are these legal? We also saw a few commercial signs on poles, but nowhere as prevalent as the religious signs.

Is there anything fun to do for a widower. I am not fond of the heat. Love crafts and I really need to get out of the house and meet people. Suggestions

Hey people of Fort Smith, I have a question. Do y'all know if any of the Asian supermarkets in that area sell these fruity coconut jellies? My friend sent me a package of snacks from Canada recently, and I'm craving them badly. I'm a bit too anxious to actually call any of the stores and ask, though, and I don't want to waste a trip. I'd very much appreciate any answers, thank you! <3

My friend is living in squalor with her 2 year old. She’s hooked on alcohol and meth. Sh her ex is worse off than she is. I am wondering what treatment options that might be available to her that doesn’t involve having her kids taken away. She doesn’t have family to watch them.

“One of the six “Freedom Trucks” with the Freedom 250 organization will be in Fort Smith between July 11 and 13, and will be located near the Fort Smith Museum of History in downtown Fort Smith. Museum officials plan to have re-enactors onsite during parts of the three-day period.”

I was on the corner of Massard and Zero today when a motorcade with police escort passed by. They had their lights on and everyone went to the side of the road (as is the norm). There were three white SUV’s with both American and Filipino flags on them. I was kinda surprised when I saw the filipino flag because I have never heard of anything special that would connect our city to the Philippines.

Why in the world would someone notable from the Philippines be in Fort Smith? My only idea would be they were visiting the air national guard or something, but why were they heading down Massard past Zero? My only ideas would be that they are either visiting the medical school or maybe they were late for their reservation at Stonehouse or something. Maybe they just wanted to check out the firehouse or maybe even go check out the Arc Best campus.

Am I missing something? Is there some special Manila-Fort Smith relationship that I don’t know about? Can someone with a little more info than me let me know what’s going on?

Edit: Thank you all for pointing out my mistake, it was the Czechia flag not the Filipino flag. I do find it a bit funny I made that mistake I bet the Czech Republic gets this way too often. Sorry Czech Republic it was my bad, hope y’all are enjoying our city!

I've tried a Google search but could only find the Gracie academy. I was wondering if there are any others.

Been in the general fort smith area for a couple years now from Florida and have made exactly zero friends. Wondering if there’s any good hangouts for alt people kind of like the SpookEasy in Tampa or Mad Hatters in St Pete.

I see other alts out and about here and there, I have to imagine there’s at least one place out here that’s not filled with camo shirts and beat up pick ups.

Does anybody do vendors at place and if so could you message me? I’m hoisting a comic con in April and want to see what are some good booth setups and ideas
